How Scheduled Email Campaigns Work
Scheduled email campaigns are sent automatically when their scheduled time arrives.
What Happens at Send Time
When a scheduled campaign becomes due, the system:
- Picks up scheduled campaigns that are ready to send (processed in small batches)
- Marks them as sending to prevent duplicate processing
- Starts delivery using the sender’s membership rules
Checks Before Sending
Before sending, the system confirms:
- The sender has an active membership
- The daily sending limit is not exceeded
- The sender’s frequency rule allows sending right now
If any check fails, the scheduled campaign is cancelled.
Who Receives the Email
Recipients are selected from users who are:
- Verified
- Subscribed to emails
- Not the sender
Optional targeting can also be applied:
- Membership targeting
- Country targeting
If no recipients match, the campaign completes without sending.
Credits and Sending Volume
Credits control how many recipients can be reached.
- The system calculates the credit cost per recipient (based on targeting)
- The campaign sends only to the number of recipients allowed by available credits
- Any unused credits are returned to the sender
After Sending
Once delivery is complete:
- The scheduled campaign is marked as sent
- A record is added to the regular campaign history
- The scheduled item is removed so it does not run again
